The AA has named Fishmore Hall in Ludlow, Shropshire as one of
the Top Hotels in the British Isles.
The stunning, privately owned boutique hotel in the beautiful
Shropshire countryside has been awarded an AA Inspector's choice,
with 3 prestigious red stars for outstanding accommodation, as well
as 3AA rosettes for their foodie favourite restaurant,
Forelles.
Fishmore Hall is a luxurious 15 bedroom Georgian House; and in
the four short years since the owners embarked on an incredible
refurbishment of this derelict property, they have established
themselves as one of the countries finest.
Red Star - as opposed to black star - hotels represent the most
outstanding examples in each star category and signify the best in
the British Isles. Fishmore Hall owner, Laura Penman said:
"We are elated to have been presented the 3 AA red stars. Our
hotel has undergone substantial development in such a short space
of time and this is confirmation that every hour spent was worth
it. Our staff have worked incredibly hard to maintain and
raise the level of service that we pride ourselves on."
Fishmore Halls sensational restaurant Forelles is no stranger to
recognition. Awarded 2AA rosettes within an astonishing 10 days of
opening, the AA have now awarded Forelles a 3rd rosette,
positioning them in the top ten per cent of restaurants according
to the AA Guide.
Speaking of the remarkable accolade, owner Laura said: "Our
restaurant is at the heart of our hotel and a key factor in our
great reputation, both in Shropshire and nationally. Our head chef,
David Jaram is an inspiration and his commitment to creating
fabulous food as well as his flair for originality are more than
worthy of this honour."
This contemporary haven was runner up in The Sunday Times Best
Value Rural Hotel UK 2010 and owner Laura Penman was also honoured
with Caterer Magazine Acorn Award in 2009, recognising her for her
excellence in the industry for someone under 30.
Laura said: "Fishmore Hall is a treasure and we will continue to
concentrate on providing the highest standards of service and food.
We look forward to future success"
